2 Our Mission and History The fifth annual Indiana Cross-Country Camp of Champions will be held three days in June. The dates this year will be June 10 th, 17 th and 24 th. The camp times are 5:00 PM 8:30 PM. The camp will be held at Northview Christian Life Church in Carmel. This is the site of the Franklin Central Semi-State and the Flash Rock Invitational. Camp is open to all Junior High and High School boys and girls. Our mission is to provide an opportunity for all runners to gain a better understanding of cross-country in a non-competitive atmosphere. The camp is designed to kick-start summer training. Our focus is on the development of young runners. We will not be running any big miles or hard runs. The camp is designed for those athletes interested in learning what it takes to become a better runner. Indiana Cross-Country Camp of Champions has had many of the top runners from the state of Indiana attend the camp including Drew Shields (Fishers) and Sarah Higgins (Center Grove) the 2008 state individual champion. These individuals provided valuable insight into running. Additionally, we had numerous collegiate coaches come and speak at camp. Each college coach was provided with an list of all camp participants and each participant received an list of all coaches. This facilitated the recruiting process for many athletes. We will once again be inviting college coaches to attend camp and speak to campers. The following is a list of colleges that sent representatives to our camp.
